Rootstein Mannequins and Solstiss Bucol Celebration/Installation 20th Anniversay of Solstiss Bucol in America Rootstein Showroom 205 West 19th Steet December 6, 2007 Written by Wendy R. Williams Photographed by Belkis Carrasco

Rootstein Mannequins and Solstiss Bucol (manufacturers of fine French silk and lace) staged a gorgeous installation/party on December 6, 2007 in honor of the 20th Anniversary of Solstiss Bucol in America. The stunning Rootstein Mannequins were draped in silk and lace and professionally lit so they too could attend the party. The room was filled with mist; we were in the romantic world of artist Maxfield Parish.

The clothing was designed by Kevin Arpino, the creative director of Rootstein Mannequins; Arpino also styled the installation. Arpino is one incredibly talented man. Enjoy!
